It’s Sri Lanka cricket.

when will we EVER learn? this board has been corrupt since God knows when, the money we do receive is pissed down the drain for ‘secretaries’ who just happen to be related to those in charge.
Just imagine the talent pool we could have tapped into with money spent on grassroots cricket, development and the like.
Now snap back to reality. it’s a bloody wonder how our national team keeps performing.
p.s why the feck does politics play a part in cricket?!

That’s all well and good
That’s all well and good Ashan, but being the quickest or the fittest does not mean squat if there’s no performances to back it up.
i’ve done a little homework and have Sanath’s stats after the Asia Cup final in which he scored a masterful 125, an innings in which many of us believed should have been his last.
Long story short is that he’s averaging 26.42 and bowling has yielded 12 wickets at 42. not the sort of stats which should propel a forty four year old into the world cup.
Yes, that’s probably Chamara Kapugedera’s career average but hey as you said, all I am is an Arm Chair Expert and I doubt God could explain that one.

If Sanath is selected in the
If Sanath is selected in the 15, let alone plays in the World Cup, I believe it will be one of the saddest days of Sri Lankan Cricket.
Instead of moving forward as a nation why do selectors continue to look at the past, living in former glories. It is ridiculous how a man at 41 years of age can be selected in a national team, when he hasn’t even warranted selection! as the post above me says, we need consistency at the top of the order not a bright start every 10 innings. It is very rare that two batsman at the top of the top of the order gung-ho and pull it off (i.e sanath and kalu) therefore the steady Upul Tharanga or Mehela should partner Dilshan come the WC.
As for Vaasy he is a different kettle of fish, he never relied on pace or reflexes (or hand eye coordination in Sana’s case) to be successful and has performed quite well of late in England and domestically. Though he hasn’t been part of the national set up for quite some time now and to selected him or Sanath for the World Cup would send the wrong message to the youngsters we have backed.
I trust the selectors make the right decision and not be influenced by ‘external forces’!
Happy New Year everyone and here’s hoping a successful year of Sri Lankan cricket!
